Summary:

Vampires, those dark children of the night, who rise from their
coffins to suck the blood of the living, continue to hold a strange
fascination and dread. In this unique collection of vampire stories
you will find some of the earliest depictions of these fearful
creatures as in John Polidori's The Vampyre and James Malcolm Rymer's
Varney the Vampyre, a tale which held readers in thrall when it was
first published in the mid-nineteenth century. As well as these rare
stories and those featuring the more well known bloodsuckers such as
Le Fanu s Carmilla and Stoker s Dracula, there is a clutch of lesser
known but equally frightening tales written by expert practitioners
in the art of raising goose pimples. Children of the Night is a
volume filled with the rich blood of chilling vampire fiction.
